In Answer To: "What Is The Burden"

The Burden is relative to all of us. We choose and decide what aspect of our life is a burden.

That is why I, the dying girl being a literal burden carried on someone's shoulders, is rhetorically asking if they see all the lovely little things one would see walking on almost any sidewalk.

My burden is my disease, having time to do everything i planned to do later, someday when i had time or money, but not being able to do them or really that much at all. All the pills and doctors and tests--for what? So I can live long enough to be a vegetable? It's not being able to do much, and the knowledge that I, myself, am a burden.
